Back pain is one of the most common challenges in modern digital life. It affects millions and often interrupts our ability to enjoy and execute life’s functionality.

 

Back Pain, whether a nagging ache or sudden sharp Pain, can make even simple tasks daunting. Thankfully, relief is within reach with tailored back pain treatment from Advance Physical Therapy.

 

Why Back Pain erupts

 

Our backs are intricate structures of bones, muscles, ligaments, and nerves. This duality makes our backs strong yet prone to pain. Lower back pain, in particular, is a leading cause of missed workdays and limited mobility. Experts estimate that nearly 80% of people experience back pain at some point.

 

Poor posture, lack of movement, muscle strain, and workplace setups that strain the body are common culprits. Sometimes, more serious conditions like herniated discs are involved. Managing back pain requires a well-rounded approach, often combining active and passive therapies.

 

How Physical Therapy Helps

 

Advance Physical Therapy focuses on immediate relief and long-term prevention, especially in lower back pain treatment.

 

The regime by our expert therapists includes:

 

Active Therapy:

 

Stretching Exercises: Stretches, like hamstring and knee-to-chest, strengthen the back muscles.

 

Strengthening Exercises: Targeted activities like wall squats and straight leg raises build muscle support for the spine.

 

Low-Impact Aerobic Conditioning: Walking, swimming, or cycling boosts circulation and keeps the spine robust.

 

Passive Therapy:

 

Heat/Ice Therapy: Heat soothes tense muscles, while ice reduces swelling and numbs sharp Pain.

 

Ultrasound and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation(TENS): It targets deeper tissues to block Pain and change your perception of Pain.

 

Iontophoresis: Uses mild electrical currents to deliver medication directly to painful areas.
